(This following is not directly in response of this email but I must be in the
thread flow)


I find this discussion going nowhere. Instead of simplify the system, now
proposal comes to make it more and more complex and bloated, just to display
informations that are available on website (PyPI, Tryton Services page) and in
the source packages.  All this is completly against the KISS principle, we try
to apply in Tryton, in the name of "marketing god".

With the same concervative behavior we will never remove the "zipped modules",
"netrpc", "ir.default" etc.


PS: If 3 years ago, I had thought a little further, when forking the
__openerp__.py, I would have remove it (in the same time as "licence",
"installable",  "active", "category" etc.) and nobody will complain about it
missing.
